CluenexKimco Realty KIM
Kimco Realty scores average on business quality (5.4 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Kimco Realty does
Kimco Realty owns and operates open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets, collecting rent primarily from national retailers, grocers, and service providers.
- What it does best
Kimco excels at securing essential-retail anchors like grocers that drive reliable foot traffic, producing a gross margin of 68.9% that provides a resilient buffer against retail volatility.
- The main risk
Interest coverage sits thin at 2.3x against a total debt load of $8.2 billion, leaving earnings vulnerable to any sustained elevation in borrowing costs.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margins hit 34.6% backed by a solid free cash flow margin in the 84th sector percentile, showing efficient cash generation from property operations.
Scale across prime suburban markets locks in national tenants, anchoring an operating margin sitting in the 63rd sector percentile.
Revenue grew to $2.2 billion at a 5.1% rate, showing steady improvement compared to prior annual periods.
Debt-to-equity of 0.8 supports $682 million in free cash flow, though interest coverage of 2.3x keeps balance-sheet flexibility tight.
Insiders
Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
